Both dramas released around the similar time, so the similarities seemed clear to me.
- FL is strong-willed (and has an opinionated mother) and financially better off
- ML is humble and poorer (but ML is more of a simp in MSH, and ML is a bit "smarter" in DH)
- Both dramas have a really good range of side characters (good acting and realistic character construction imo...I literally know some of these characters irl)
- ML and FL have more of a slow burn romance
- Somehow, both dramas have just the right amount of silliness/irony/subtle humor to make it not feel draggy...far from melodramatic (although it still has that sentimental realism)
- Portrayal of being not rich (ML and his friends) and struggle of the working class (a bit more in MSH)
- Covers side stories well, but side stories don't feel unnecessary.
